The factory undercoating was a miserable hot tar
substance that would have been very difficult for a dealer to apply (they'd have
to remove all of the interior for one thing). I chipped 4 coffee cans of
it out of my Savoy-vedere's interior alone.
Undercoating was also done as a sound deadener, so
it would make sense that hood insulation (a noise suppressor) would be installed
on undercoated cars.
I have been told that all of the a/c equipped cars
came with the hood insulation to help quiet the racket of the compressor as
well.
Can't positive confirm either
though.

I thought undercoating was done at the dealership
and not at the factory? If this is true then the hood pad theory isn't
accurate.

I don't understand the relationship between one and
the other. What makes you certain of this ?

Only those 57 and 58's with factory
undercoating had hood pads.

I would use Permatex Clear RTV Silicone
Adhesive. And, yes, 57-8 Plys did have a hood pad.
